Hello. My name is Anna. I live in small town in Russia. One year ago I understood that I’ve never been really happy. While Looking for answer why I found that every person is born to create using different tool. That’s our natural need. I choose paints and pencil my tools. Now I’m happy but I’ve never learnt how to draw and feel like wondering in the dark. But thanks to drawing academy I found light and know where to go. I like to draw people because it’s the most controversial thing in the world. Nature is true beauty. But people can wake the strangest feelings inside of me that’s I want to transfer to the paper …

Jumping from one profession to another, was a risky move. The risk gets bigger if you have a family to support, or you are already 40. But that’s the case for me. I am in a family of 6; me, my wife, and 4 beautiful kids, from 10 to 1. And already 40! To simply put this into perspective, was an architect/ small-time contractor. Got sick few years back, that force me to change career. Tried design and animation, but going nowhere. So I decided to start painting digitally …

Hi,
My name is Olga. I love drawing since I was a kid. But I have never done this professionally. I only started to think that I need art education about a year ago.
I started to make sketches every day, painting literally everything I see. I like oil painting a lot and made several pieces using this technique.
At the moment I use the Internet as the main source of art education. I would like to improve my skills under guidance of Drawing Academy teachers…

Hello, to everyone! My name is Yaroslava, I’m from Kiev, Ukraine.
I’m going crazy from drawing since I was a child.
But no drawing knowledge and unsuccessful attempts made me believe that I can not draw.
I have a son Alexey he is nine and he likes to draw very much. He often asks me : “how to draw this or that”.
And because of him I started learning how to draw to explain him…

I never received any artistic training not even practiced on my own until September last year. I always enjoyed art but I never considered myself with enough “talent” to give it a try.
Just out of curiosity I looked into several links in internet and some books and I frequently saw the same agreement, drawing is just another skill that can be learnt. Knowing myself I might not be “talented” but surely I am stubborn enough to learn anything if it requires passion and practice and I have plenty of those..
Also since I started I noticed how drawing is now really important to me. When I draw I loose completely the sense of time and I am not able to explain clearly how does it make me feel. I guess is one of those things you need to experiment yourself to have a clear understanding of what I mean. So I also take the opportunity to invite you to give it a try. You can not be worse of what I thought of myself when I started…

I have always believed that when somebody speaks from their heart, it will touch the hearts of others. Art has always been a meaningful and excited passion of mine through life. It is how I see the world and express my own. It changed my life; it brought more meaning, motivation, and excitement than anything else did.
Making art to me is a very deep process, personal discovery, and development. I would compare myself to a stranger who travels through life, looking for a dreamland. While traveling, struggles a lot, goes through hardships, losses, needs, but in the end finds something inside which gives strength, love, and hope, and leads to a land where you may have peace and joy.
My goal is to bring more hope and inspiration into this world; to increase a person’s value and add to their significance, and to make the world a better place to live in. It would be the biggest reward and the greatest inspiration to see this actually happen. I believe if you are willing to put your heart and effort into something, you will reach your stars…

I’m drawing since I was a child. I remember my father bringing some papers and pencils from the office and, for me, that was the best present. Some years later, I had the happiness to find two excellent teachers: Geraldo Aguiar and Renato Alarcão.
Watercolours and Dry pastel are my favorite techniques and, when I see the members are presenting here, I think this is one more place to consider as a school…

I love nature, animals and oceans. As we know, oceans are being polluted by tons of plastic and then animals like fish, sea turtles either gets entangled or consume the plastic. Similarly, I show how fish are being affected by plastic in my art. I used pieces of plastic to cover half of fish body to depict that it’s transforming into plastic. So I just want to create awareness about plastic in the ocean through my art…
